Ronny NobleGreat ride with some great roads. I am new to mountain driving and everyone was very welcoming. It was the perfect trip to break in my new Miata. I wish I could have stayed for the entire ride but I managed to give my passenger a serious case of carsickness.1 · Like · Reply · March 26 · Mute

S. TynerRonnyI've long held that those who are foolhardy enough to sit in the passenger seat with one of us at the wheel are either far braver or far crazier than we are. They go everywhere we do, but they do it sans brakes and steering wheels. No shame in a bit of gastric rebellion, when you consider it that way.1 · Like · March 26

Tim OlsenRonny - Good to have you and we understand the carsickness issue; Patti was feeling a little queasy as well. Sometimes 400 turns will do that to you (or me)!Like · Reply · March 26 · Mute
